{"value"=>"<p>The executive director oversees the work of the various departments of GMHC and reports on these to the board of directors. Mel Rosen was the first executive director of GMHC, elected in August 1982 and serving until July of 1983 when he became the director of the AIDS Institute. Rodger McFarlane returned to GMHC that month and served as executive director until June 1985. Richard Dunne (1985-1989), Jeffrey Braff (1989-1990), Timothy J. Sweeney (1990-1993), and Jeff Richardson (1993-1994) served in this position and are represented in this series.</p> <p>In the beginning of GMHC's history, the executive director was directly involved in all operations of the organization. McFarlane was responsible for moving the organization from its first office (a series of rooms in a building owned by Mel Cheren on West 22nd Street) to a larger office on West 18th Street and for formalizing some of GMHC's social programs, the Crisis Intervention Services and the Buddy Program. Dunne was the last executive director to have the same level of involvement with the development of the organization before it grew too large for any one person to have such a relationship.</p>"}
